I run through the huge open field, panting and trying to keep pace with Bruiser, the old hound dog. With each sniff I am pulled in a different direction as he finds something new to track. On his walk he is full of life, but as we make our way to the backroom of the Second Chance SPCA, a change comes over him. He becomes sad and anxious, his cage no more a home to him then a small town is to a girl yearning for the big city. Some dogs adjust to the life of a shelter; others do not. These are the ones I am most drawn to - the dejected, lonely ones, who yearn for a family to give them freedom. I love these animals for the simple fact that they are the ones that need the most love. When I scratch that special spot behind their ears, I see their eyes light up. I know that in that instant, they have forgotten their unhappiness and have been given hope.
Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
